The Labyrinth
I’m stuck in this maze, that has no end.
I run and I run yet no one has help to lend.
I feel the world tugging, me down a bit,
telling me I’m worthless and that its time to quit.
There are so many corners, and so many edges, its hard to avoid falling off the countless ledges.
Person after person, comes to yell in my ear,
“its time to quit running, you have no luck here.”
I start to think they are all a little bit right,
I’ve tried my best and held on with all my might.
The labyrinth is smarter and better too,
I’ve tried so hard and still am yet to make it through.
Its time to give up I say to myself,
as I take once stepper closer to the tallest of shelves.
I hang my foot just over the edge,
and remember the struggles that pushed me to this ledge.
Its over I repeat again and again in my head,
I step off the shelf and now I am dead.
